Levy County Department of Public Safety paramedics George Davis and Kevin Scott, along with members of the LCDPS Medical Director Team, participated in the Annual Intubation Rodeo sponsored by Nature Coast EMS in Citrus County on June 2.

This event was a challenge for critical thinking and problem solving in placing advanced airways in a field scenario, which included manikins. The event was timed and had contestants from all over Florida.

Nettles Sausage Company, of Lake City, donated pig tracheas to provide EMS personnel with a lifelike experience for the advanced airway techniques as part of this quarter's safety training with the Levy County Department of Public Safety.
